Transformers Forum Sites Gone Forever?

Post by SentinelPrime »

What happened to the other two good transformers forums, GITM and Roddy's Place? Are they gone for good? Or are there plans to relaunch them? :shock: I hope they are relaunched soon! Anybody got any updates?

I have a TF site that is in the processes of a remodel/revamp. I need a new name and I can begin a new forum for people to populate, otherwise Autobot Iacon is still alive and kickin.

Might I inquire as to why?
Is the board script lost to the ether?
Or a just a hosting issue?
Or a time/management/upkeep issue?
Or?

Roddys place is gone forever, but has been replaced by TF Asylum.

As NS said, the server crashed and lost all data from all sites it hosted. nothing was recovered.

I believe TFwiki was on the same server and thankfully they had made their own back up. Bad news, the back ups were over a year old.

like Ghostinthemachine, I was saddened by the loss on the GITM board, and I also lost my Star Wars Universe forum, though luckily before it dissapeared into the void of someones stupid mistake in doing an upgrade, I was able to move all the critical info and rpg onto my TF forum The Shadow Realm. Though my board catters to all kinds of fans, and different kinds of rps and topics that are not just tf based.
